My tan is fading already . . . I can FEEL it!
We’re back and we had just a fabulous time! Lots of sun and sand - - snorkeling and drinking and some great time with some fantastic friends. Who could ask for more in a vacation??
The folks who already know I am home didn’t believe me when I said I was actually able to relax, without a computer in front of my face. Well, here’s my proof for you non-believers:
Probably the one and only time I will put a cleavage shot up here on this blog - - but that’s me in St. Maarten’s … relaxing in the shade of a few palm trees. . . no computer in site!!
I have TONS more pictures to share of the cruise and the fun antics aboard ship . . along with some great shots of local wildlife and such - - but that comes later when I’ve actually organized the 6GB of pictures that we shot in the past week!
Here are a few that I’ve taken off the memory cards:
Our ship - the Princess Caribbean - took this one from the beach at Princess Cays Island:
The boat is anchored out in the ocean, as there is no docking area at the Princess Cays Island. They ferried us in on little ‘tenders’:
Those tenders dropped from the sides of the ship - - we all loaded in and took the 10 minute ride to the beach.
On the island, a guy was doing fruit carvings with watermelons:
At 102 degrees - - I just wanted to EAT the watermelon!
There is just one more little picture that I was able to grab off the memory card today.
That, my friends - would be a picture of my left hand!!
Yes, after 5 years - - Chris finally popped the question and I said yes!
It went something like this - - on the streets of St. Thomas:
Chris: “So, will you marry me??”
Me: (shock!) “Um, well - I didn’t think you were the marrying type??”
Chris: “You’ve changed my mind”
Me: Really? How did that happen?
Chris: Hey - I asked a question first!
Me: Darlin’ - I will absolutely marry you!!
It was a day to remember for me !
More pictures to follow in the days to come. For now, it’s time to catch up on some work now that I have a computer in front of my face!
